Technical Support Lead
Job Description
Supportworks is building technical support around SolutionView Tablet and the systems that connect to it, including integrations and APIs. In this hands-on Technical Support Lead role, you will own complex issues end to end, lead a small support team, and help create the documentation, training, and escalation quality that make support scale without losing customer experience.
What you’ll do
- Take ownership of complex technical issues from start to resolution, including application behavior, configuration, integrations, APIs, authentication, and data or CRM sync for the SolutionView Tablet app.
- Coach a small support team to troubleshoot in a systematic way and gradually handle more advanced issues independently.
- Set expectations for ticket quality, communication, and follow-up while keeping day-to-day operations healthy, including response times, aging tickets, and overall volume.
- Own the escalation path to Development by ensuring issues are clearly documented, researched, and reproducible before they are handed off.
- Build and maintain a knowledge base with troubleshooting guides, FAQs, and training materials to prevent repeat work.
- Identify patterns across tickets and work with Support, Product, and training stakeholders to drive improvements where changes can be made.
- Keep dealers informed and supported throughout the resolution process, including when immediate answers are not available.
- Prepare the team for product releases and changes so dealer support is confident from day one.
- Contribute to hiring, onboarding, and team growth as support volume increases.
What you bring
- 3+ years in technical or SaaS support, including experience resolving complex issues involving integrations, APIs, authentication, configuration, and diagnosing software defects.
- Exceptional troubleshooting and problem-solving ability, plus the capability to explain reasoning and teach a systematic approach to others.
- Experience mentoring or leading a support team, with the judgment to decide when to step in personally versus coaching someone through it.
- Strong communication skills, especially writing and documenting issues clearly for technical documents developers can use, while also communicating effectively with dealers.
- Comfort working across Support, Product, and Development.
- A strong sense of ownership, including following issues through to completion, communicating clearly when situations are messy, and preventing problems from stalling out quietly.
- Curiosity and learning agility, including the willingness to dig into unfamiliar systems, ask strong questions, and figure out how components work together.

Nice to have
